REPLAY all the action from Melbourne Victory's 1-1 draw with Central Coast Mariners in their A-League blockbuster at Launceston's Aurora Stadium.

FULL-TIME: Peep, peep! It's all over, Central Coast snaring a gutsy 1-1 draw against Melbourne Victory in Launceston. Daniel McBreen's second half penalty cancels out Marcos Flores' opener as the league-leading Mariners move two points clear of second-placed Adelaide and stay seven points ahead of third-placed Victory. Credit to Central Coast for fighting their way back into this game but the Victory will surely view this as points dropped after dominating, especially in the first half.

90 MINS: The Victory win another free kick as we enter injury time but Billy Celeski can't beat the wall with his shot from just outside the area. After the resulting corner is cleared Adrian Leijer has a golden opportunity to win it for Melbourne but his header from Andrew Nabbout's cross is just wide. That was the chance for the Victory - and for Leijer to redeem himself after giving away the penalty.

88 MINS: Mark Milligan almost puts the Victory ahead with a well-worked free-kick. He stands over the ball with Billy Celeski, before racing towards goal. Celeski chips the ball over the top and Milligan hits it on the volley but can't get over the shot and it flies high. Then Nathan Coe is forced to clean up at the other end for the Victory after a Mariners free-kick beats everyone, inlcuding a dangerous Patrick Zwaanswijk at the back post.

86 MINS: Andrew Nabbout looks to inject some spark for the Victory off the bench after replacing Marco Rojas. He twice finds space on the right but can't find a teammate with his crosses.

81 MINS: Josh Rose is looking dangerous on the left for the Mariners this half. He cuts inside and unleashes from the edge of the area but his shot is just wide of the near post. This really is anyone's game now.

77 MINS: PENALTY MARINERS! The referee points to the spot for the second time after another clumsy challenge in the box - this time Adrian Leijer clattering Michael McGlinchey. Daniel McBreen steps up for the Mariners ... AND SCORES! No problem for the A-League's leading scorer who coolly slots home after Nathan Coe guesses incorrectly. Scores level!

65 MINS: SUPER SAVES, MAT RYAN! Anything Nathan Coe can do, the Mariners No.1 can do at least as well as he shows with a brilliant double save to stop Melbourne from doubling their lead. Ryan is quick off his line to shut down a Victory raid before sprinting back to tip over a curling shot from Marco Rojas. No wonder he's in such high demand.

62 MINS: BRILLIANT SAVE, NATHAN COE! The Victory goalkeeper makes his second outstanding stop of the match, denying Michael McGlinchey from point-blank range. The Mariners midfielder gets on the end of a cross from Pedj Bojic and turns his volley goalwards but Coe dives brilliantly low to his left to add to his first-half stop from Adam Kwasnik.

62 MINS: Mile Sterjovski comes within a foot or two of leveling the scores for the Mariners as he tries to volley home after Nathan Coe makes a mess of clearing a Central Coast corner. The former Socceroos striker can't quite get over the top of it and the ball flies over the crossbar.

58 MINS: Bernie Ibini streaks clear down the right-hand touchline after the Mariners clear from a corner. The striker shows plenty of pace to race into the box but he hesitates and tries to cut inside and the Victory clear. That was an almost immediate impact from Ibini, who had only just replaced Adam Kwasnik.

53 MINS: Daniel McBreen with a half-chance for the Mariners, but he blasts wide from a tight angle. He had teammates calling for the ball inside but you can't blame the Central Coast striker for trying to add to his 12 goals so far this season. More good play from the Mariners sees Josh Rose cut inside from the left and fire towards goal, but Nathan Coe catches the shot with ease.

46 MINS: The second half is just seconds old but Billy Celeski has already managed to earn himself a yellow card for a sliding challenge. Early chance for the Mariners but they can't make anything of a free kick in good position. Meanwhile Leigh Broxham has replaced Nick Ansell for the Victory.

HALF-TIME: Melbourne Victory head into the sheds with a deserved 1-0 lead courtesy of a neat Marcos Flores strike. Only the one goal thus far but there's been plenty of action, with Archie Thompson twice fluffing gilt-edged chances and his Melbourne teammate Marco Rojas hitting the post from the penalty spot. Adam Kwasnik should have found the back of the net for the Mariners but could only fire straight at Victory keeper Nathan Coe after a lovely cross from Daniel McBreen. Victory coach Ange Postecoglou would perhaps be disappointed his side doesn't lead by more after such a dominant half while his Mariners counterpart Graham Arnold - who was sent from the touchline just moments before the break - has plenty to ponder as he tries to lift his troops.

45 MINS: SEND OFF! No, Nick Montgomery hasn't been retrospectively awarded a red card for giving away a penalty, it's his coach Graham Arnold that's been given his marching orders from the sideline. It's gone from bad to worse in the last few minutes for the Mariners boss who has seen his side go behind and is now banished to the stands.

42 MINS: GOAL MELBOURNE! The Victory finally find the back of the net and take a deserved lead and it's Marcos Flores who gets the breakthrough. Marco Rojas holds the ball up on the edge of the area before slipping the ball through to the on-rushing Adama Traore, whose cutback is neatly finished by Flores on his left boot. It's a lovely goal from Melbourne and no more than they deserve after a dominant display in the opening half.

38 MINS: Marco Rojas has been the main man for Melbourne thus far but Marcos Flores is building right into the game now. After more neat work in midfield the Argentine unleashes from outside the area, but it's caught by Mariners goalkeeper Mat Ryan. And Nick Montgomery is off - just not courtesy of a red card as he might have been earlier. Graham Arnold decides to drag the Mariners defender, whose first-half highlights include a yellow card and giving away a penalty. Oliver Bozanic enters the fray for Central Coast.

31 MINS: PENALTY Melbourne! The ref points to the spot after Marco Flores is clumsily tripped in the box by Nick Montgomery. Marco Rojas steps up to the mark for the Victory ... and MISSES! Mat Ryan guesses correctly and dives to his left but it doesn't matter - Rojas hits the post. The score remains 0-0. Meanwhile Montgomery, already on a yellow card, is perhaps lucky not to be sent off there.

30 MINS: Despite the lack of goals, this has been thrilling so far - real end-to-end stuff. Nathan Coe makes another save for Melbourne as Mile Sterjovksi can only head a cross back across goal before Victory tear up the other end and almost create another chance through Marco Rojas.

27 MINS: Adrian Leijer is the latest player to waste a chance as the Victory defender fails to hit the target after jumping to meet a Marco Rojas corner. With better finishing, this could be 3-2 or more by now. As it is we're still looking for a breakthrough. And Daniel McBreen can't provide it, firing wide of the near post after being played through.

22 MINS: Daniel McBreen is the A-League's top-scorer but he's unable to find the target with his header after Mile Sterjovksi's cross. To be fair it wasn't the easiest ball to turn in for the Mariners striker. Meanwhile, replays show Marco Rojas should have been allowed to play on earlier after he was adjudged to have taken the ball out when played in by Marcos Flores. He's been superb for Melbourne so far, the Kiwi whiz.

18 MINS: From the sublime to the not-so-sublime. Marco Rojas finds himself in acres of space but instead of running through and shooting, opts to square the ball for Archie Thompson. Not for the first time Thompson isn't able to take advantage of his teammate's generosity and lashes the ball over the top. Huge chance gone begging there for the Victory. But what a start to this game!

15 MINS: What a save, Nathan Coe! Adam Kwasnik flies in to connect with a brilliant ball from Daniel McBreen on the left. He arrives at the perfect time and unleashes from close range but it's straight at Coe and the Victory keeper not only saves but regathers. That was against the run of play but a brilliant chance for the Mariners.

11 MINS: It's only early days but it's been all Mebourne Victory so far. Marcos Flores skips into the box and then tries to play Marco Rojas in, but Mat Ryan is quick to snuff out the chance. Then Adama Traroe charges down the left flank and fires a shot but it's high, wide and nowhere near the goal.

Great chance for Archie T there. Should have done better. Victory dominating early.

9 MINS: Melbourne Victory are the ones in bright yellow today and they're also the side making the bright start at Aurora Stadium. Mark Milligan goes close with a thumping volley from outside the box after neat build-up play from Melbourne. Then Archie Thompson flashes a volley wide after a lovely Marco Rojas cross from the left. Victory have come to play.

2 MINS: CHANCE! The game is less than two minutes old and Victory have a golden chance to go ahead, Archie Thompson denied by a brilliant Mat Ryan save after he's played through one on one. Almost the perfect start for Thompson in his 150th game but Ryan is off his line quickly. Marco Rojas hits a follow-up just wide but is flagged for offside anyway. A minute later and Rojas gets free down the right and floats in a cross but Spase Dilevski can't hit the target with his header. Hot start from Melbourne.

KICK-OFF: This is a Melbourne home game - they also took a match to Tasmania last year - but the Victory are in their away strip, as are the Mariners. So it's Melbourne in hi-vis yellow and the Mariners in blue. Peep, peep - and we're under way! Mariners Victory get things started.
